How to Cure Nervous Horses.

Finely-brcd. intelligent horses"
said a trainer recently. "are often ner-
voias. They are quick to notice. quick
to take alarm. quick to do what seems
to them, in moments of sudden terror,
necessary to escape from possible
harnl. from something they do not I'M
der.tand. That is what makes them
shy. Dol, and run away. We can not
tell wkat awful suggestions strange
things offer to their minds. 1t may
be that a sheet of white paper in
the road way seems to the nervous
horse yawning chasm. the open front
of baby carriage the jaws of a
dragon ready to devour him. and a
man on bicycle some terrifying sort Of
a flying devil without wings. Directly.
however, he becomes famili ar with these
objects. and he is entirely indiferer
to them. Therefore when your horse

RAMONA'S HOME.
4 Visit to the Lamen ted Helen Hunt Jack

The widow of General Custer is in
California and recently paid visit
to Comulos, the home 6 '.Ramona,"
the heroine of Helen Hunt Jackson's
romantic novel She says the descrip-
tons of H. H. are perfect, and all the
characters in the story are still found
there, except Allesandro. Ramona
came soon after luncheon to take us
to the chapel. As she sauntered in
'dolently down the gallery, the fanguor
and beauty of her southern grace was
in marked contrast to our brisk north
orn maiden whose day is divided into
inch bits and whose duties and SELF
imposed tasks leave her little time
even for the dalliaRce of love making.
She wore a man S soft sOmbrerO and
asked us saucily how we liked her hat,
that Allesandro wore it sometimes, and
then she took it.
1t is disappointment to find there
is no Allesandro here He must have
been created in the poetical brain of Il
woman whose heart was on fire over
the wrongs of the red man.

bric-a-brac, church paintings, serapas,
ribosas, mantillas, cid silver, etc.
The shop-keeper, in Italian and
Spanish fashion, sent certain articles
over which we had fingered
to our hotel in the evening. We trie d
to speak with the messenger. He spoke
no English nor French With few
Spanish words and energetic questions
we made some Roadway. and finally.
cndeavoring to arrive at his nationali-

race Of Indians pride themselves on
their pure descent and will not inter-
marry with Spaniards Or Americans.
We realized that we were gazing
on an Indian without a drop of
alien blood in his veins. He
was straight and supple. with head set
splendidly On his well-iroportioned
shoulders. hardly wondered that
